Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Peer Review Policy
Current Trends in Computing (CTC), applies double blind peer-review process in which both the reviewer and the author are anonymous. Reviewer selection for each submitted article is up to area editors, and reviewers are selected based on the reviewer’s expertise, competence, and previous experience in reviewing papers for CTC.
Every submitted article is evaluated by area editor, at least, for an initial review. If the paper reaches minimum quality criteria, fulfills the aims, scope and policies of CTC, it is sent to at least two reviewers for evaluation.
The reviewers evaluate the paper according to the Review guidelines set by editorial board members and return it to the area editor, who conveys the reviewers' anonymous comments back to the author. Anonymity is strictly maintained.
The double blind peer-review process is managed using “ULAKBİM Dergi Sistemleri”, namely Dergipark platform.
Originality and Plagiarism Policy
Authors by submitting their manuscript to CTC declare that their work is original and authored by them; has not been previously published nor submitted for evaluation; original ideas, data, findings and materials taken from other sources (including their own) are properly documented and cited; their work does not violate any rights of others, including privacy rights and intellectual property rights; provided data is their own data, true and not manipulated. Plagiarism in whole or in part without proper citation is not tolerated by CTC. Manuscripts submitted to the journal will be checked for originality using anti-plagiarism software.
Price Policy
